Just then, a flight stewardess me and asked, “Would you mind your seat with the woman over there？They are a couple and would like to sit together.” The only other seat was next to a woman with both arms in casts(石膏), a blackandblue face, and a depressed emotion.“ am I going to sit there.” was my immediate . But then a deeper, quieter voice spoke, “Opportunity.” Eventually I took my new seat and after a short conversation, I that Kathy had been in a car crash, and she was on her way for .
When the snack of nuts and juice arrived， did not take me long to realize that Kathy would not be able to help herself.

I offered to help her eat，and although she too felt uncomfortable about accepting it，she . The flight turned out and she and I close in a short period of time. By the end of the fivehour trip, my heart was full of , and the time was definitely better spent than if I had just sat by myself.
I was very glad I had reached beyond my comfort zone to sit next to Kathy and offer to feed her. Love sometimes beyond human borders and overcomes the fears that keep us . When we reach out our hands to serve another, we grow to live in a larger and more world.
Help me move beyond the small self so I can with the hearts of others.

All of us go through some difficult times as we approach teenage years. It's the age when we have to deal with the most in our life. This transition (过渡) from childhood to adulthood is for some, but rough for others. The most important thing about being a teenager is . When we are teenagers, we would get blamed or even punished for anything wrong we do.
It's all not so about being a teenager though. We don't have to have our take us to somewhere we want to go or we couldn't go before. We can have with friends or even alone, which we couldn’t have because we were too to know what pleasure is! It’s a very enjoyable time of life. During this age, we are old enough to what is good for us, and make decisions without others.
But like the saying goes, “All good things must come to an end, but all bad things can continue .” During this period, we are having much for our studies. If we don’t pass, we won't get jobs, and things will take a turn for the . With the present world economy in , we have to do really, really well in our 49 for a job. Adults say that their is the hardest part of life. But I think the transition from a kid to an adult is much than being already an adult. What we do in our teenage years will what we become and how we lead our life in the future.
In conclusion, it is quite that parents put much pressure on an already stressed out teenager. If they realized that, living condition for teenagers would be much better. for the teens ourselves we should get to know what is best for us. What’s more, we should understand the right of life we choose at this age can make us happy for the rest of our existence.

About ten years ago when I was an undergraduate in college, I was working as an intern（实习生） at my University’s Museum of Natural History. One day while working at the cash register in the gift shop, I saw an old couple come in with a little girl a wheelchair.
As I looked closer at this girl, I saw that she was almost on her chair. I then she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and body. She was wearing a little white dress with red dots. As the couple her up to me I was looking down at the register. I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink（眨眼）. As I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the cutest, largest smile I have ever seen.
All of a sudden her was gone and all I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile just me and almost instantly gave me a completely new of what life is all about. She took me from a poor, unhappy college student and brought me into her world: a world of , love and .
That was ten years ago. I’m a successful business person now and I get down and think about the troubles of the world, I think about that little girl and the remarkable（非凡的）lesson about life that she me.

When you smile, not only do you feel happy, but you also bring a ray of light into the lives of . Someone once said, “ A smile is a curve (弧线) that sets everything straight, by your face value.” Know that a smile is a little thing that can produce results. What it takes is a smile to make short work of many difficulties, for just being happy helps others along. I’ve often a smile as the touch of God given to His people.
A day a smile is to waste a day. Some people grin (咧嘴笑) and bear it, while others smile and change the world. Don’t you the feelings of a returned smile? It can move into the and release good into the world. It can make friends with strangers. It can bring friends closer together. It can bridge the generation gap. It can the heart with love.

My son Tom taught me a beautiful lesson today. He is three years old and it is amazing watching him grow up.
He called out to me today saying“Papa, sit.” That usually means everything and going next to him and sitting down to play with him. I did that, as he can be stubborn and will not stop calling out until I . He was playing with beads (珠子) , pushing a string through them. Then after he finished playing with the beads, it was time to put back in the box that they are stored in. I saw him pick up each bead, look at it as if it were made of chocolate and then placed it into its box.
With over a hundred beads to go, I was getting . “ What a long time it will take ! Why cannot he grab ten beads in one go and drop them in?” said my anxious mind. I noticed that he did this with as much as he had while we were playing. I didn’t see any difference between his play and his the toy. Obviously he enjoyed both.
Then it suddenly me that this boy was enjoying the whole .The journey was his goal. For him the was in the game and after the game, not just in the fun part. What a great perspective to live each moment as it is the moment; to do each task as it is the most awesome task. Nothing else matters.
Looking at how my son was putting beads into the box me that the process was the goal.
